The day of "Street Patrol Day" means that the territory of the entire Zhenhai City belongs to the Longfan Club, and the order will be temporarily in their hands.

On this day, they will carry out so-called "protection" of the merchants in the city, which is in fact extortion and extortion. This is not only the oppression of merchants, but also the intimidation of the residents of Zhenhai City.

The beautiful woman seemed to have become accustomed to all this, and her steps were steady and calm, as if it were just an ordinary morning.

Zhao Rang couldn't help but be curious about her calmness, and at the same time filled with more questions about her past.

"The Dragon Sail Society's sphere of influence is so wide!"

Zhao Rang deliberately sighed, trying to get some information from the beautiful woman.

The beautiful woman smiled slightly, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes:

"Although the Dragon Sail Club is strong, it is not invulnerable. Their power is built on greed and plunder for money. ”

Zhao Rang nodded, he knew the meaning of the beautiful woman's words.

The reason why the Longfan Society was able to establish such a large force in Zhenhai City was largely because they controlled the management of the water market and the circulation of seafood.

The two soon came to the Drunken Sea Pavilion.

Zhao Rang stood at the door and took a closer look at the restaurant that had been blurred in his memory last night.

This large hotel, with its gorgeous exterior and exquisite interior, is bustling on weekdays, but at this time, the door is closed, and it seems extraordinarily quiet.

The beautiful woman walked to the door and knocked lightly, and after a few moments, the door was carefully opened a crack to reveal a wary face.

When he saw that it was a beautiful woman, the man immediately breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully opened the door.

"Why did Madame come so early?"

The man who opened the door asked.

The beautiful woman said lightly:

"What I have, are you ready?"

The man nodded and motioned for Zhao Rang and the beautiful woman to enter.

Zhao Rang noticed that although this person was respectful on the surface, there was a trace of imperceptible contempt hidden in his eyes.

The interior of the Drunken Sea Pavilion was more gorgeous than the outside, but Zhao Rang felt a depressing atmosphere.

The beautiful woman led Zhao Rang through the hall and came to a room with murals of overseas fairy mountains.

In the center of the room is a round mahogany table with a delicate wooden box on the table.

The beautiful woman motioned for Zhao Rang to open the wooden box, and what was placed inside was the burden he had seen in the dream last night.

Zhao Rang picked up the baggage and carefully inspected it to confirm that the contents were intact.

Taking out the token in it, Zhao Rang played with it in his hand and said to the beautiful woman:

"The things in the baggage, I guess the lady has already seen them, right?"

The beautiful woman opened her mouth and was about to answer, but she quickly closed it.

Nowadays, there is no need to lie.

If you've seen it, you've seen it, and it doesn't matter what it is, so she generously admitted it.

"So you came to me to cooperate, and you tried it many times, just because you saw this!"

Zhao Rang raised his hand as he spoke, and held the Commander of Investigation card in his palm at her.

The beautiful woman nodded and said:

"Not bad. It is precisely because the concubine sees that the son is a member of the Investigation Division. ”

Zhao Rang couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This token, if you lose it, it is troublesome, and it is also a trouble to find it.

"I said I wasn't, do you believe me?"

Of course, the beautiful woman would not believe it, and there was a hint of playfulness in her smile:

"Childe is really humorous. The token of the Investigation Division is not something that can be obtained casually, unless Childe has the ability to reach the sky. ”

Zhao Rang shrugged, he knew that in the current situation, any denial would be futile.

After putting the token back in the baggage, he said lightly:

"In that case, Madame should also understand that I have come here for a very important matter."

The beautiful woman didn't take over the conversation, and he heard that there was still an unfinished meaning in Zhao Rang's words.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Rang also closed his mouth, didn't say a word, and only looked at her fixedly.

The beautiful woman knew that she couldn't resist Zhao Rang, just one Long Fan Club had already made her feel haggard, if she offended the Investigation Division again at this moment, then she really had no way to retreat in Zhenhai City, so she had to take out a map from her sleeve and spread it out on the round table.

The map marks various important locations of Zhenhai City, especially the water market and several important docks.

"The foundation of the Longfan Club lies in the water market, and they have mastered the economic lifeline of Zhenhai City by controlling the circulation of goods in the water market."

The beautiful woman pointed to the map and explained.

Zhao Rang looked at this well-marked map and was overjoyed.

Compared to the burden, this is what he really needs.

In addition to the Dragon Sail Society, there are other forces in the city that are intertwined with each other.

Faced with a completely new place, recognizing the situation is the first step to solving the problem.

Zhao Rang is no longer the stunned young man when he went to the Western Regions.

Now he knows the meaning of planning and then acting.

After carefully looking at this picture, Zhao Rangdian is located in the north of the picture.

Here is a blank slate.

The beautiful woman gave a color to the forces in the city, and added a note to the important docks and livelihoods.

Except here, there's nothing.

There was no color, and there was not a word, Zhao Rang couldn't help but be extremely curious.

But before he could ask, the beautiful woman's face became a little strange.

As soon as he saw the other party's expression, Zhao Rang instantly thought that this blank should be where the Investigation Division was located in Zhenhai City.

"Childe, it's hard for a concubine."

The beautiful woman noticed that the atmosphere was a little solemn, and said teasingly.

"Because I knowingly asked?"

Zhao Rang said with a smile.

Seeing that the beautiful woman didn't refute, she knew that what she was thinking just now was not wrong.

Now that he has recovered the token of the Investigation Division and knows their location in the city, this place must be visited.

"Can you give me this picture?"

Zhao Rang asked.

The beautiful woman immediately rolled up the map, tied it with a leather rope, and handed it to Zhao Rang.

"The premise of cooperation is mutual trust."

This is what Zhao Rang said to her yesterday.

Now she turned it out and said it to Zhao Rang again, one to prove her sincerity, and the other to remind Zhao Rang Mo not to even do what she had said.

After the two chatted a few more words, Zhao Rang said goodbye and left the Drunken Sea Pavilion.

He still has a lot to do and can't stay here for long. In particular, you have to go to the location of the Investigation Division in Zhenhai City as soon as possible to find out your identity and origin.

Walking out of the door of the Drunken Sea Pavilion, Zhao Rang took a deep breath.

The air in Zhenhai City had a hint of saltiness and fishiness of seawater, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

The 'Street Patrol Day' of the Dragon Sailing Club is not over yet, but this place has passed, and the street has returned to some of its due liveliness.

Before going to the Investigation Division, Zhao Rang had to find a suitable place to stay.

Even though the beautiful woman kindly invited him to continue living in his own courtyard, Zhao Rang politely declined.

Her attitude towards the Dragon Fan Club is very firm, but this does not mean that Zhao Rang can be honest with her.

Especially after she saw the investigation commander card in the baggage, Zhao Rang had to be even more cautious.

In fact, he has always had a faint doubt in his heart.

That's about the loss and recovery of this burden, as well as her own dreams, maybe they are all self-directed and self-performed by this beautiful woman.

In this way, Zhao Rang can not only owe him favors, but also show his pivotal position in this city, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

In short, as long as such a woman is disturbed, it will not be simple!

Now that this is the case, Zhao Rang can only try his best to avoid all the risks he can think of.

Bypassing a street and alley, this place was already some distance away from the Drunken Sea Pavilion, and Zhao Rang took out the map again and looked at it.

Just now, he found that in addition to the location of the Investigation Division, the map was blank, and the adjacent places were marked bright yellow.

The territory occupied by this color is the smallest and smallest in the city, with only three shops.

An inn, a cloth village, and a casino.

Food, clothing, shelter and clothing come first, and no matter where people are, they need to be dressed.

Compared with casinos and inns, Buzhuang should be the most inconspicuous business.

However, Zhao Rang keenly found that there were only three or four cloth villages marked on the map.

Two of them are around the water market and should now be owned by the Dragon Sail Club.

There is also a house that is the property of the beautiful woman herself.

Aside from these big forces, this is the only cloth village left.

Of course, the more shops you open, the bigger and bigger you are, the more profitable you are. But it's better that these shops are owned by one person.

In the current pattern of Zhenhai City, there is still a small force that can sit on one of the three or four cloth villages in the city and not fall, there must be something special about him.

This cloth village may become another window for itself in Zhenhai City.

After making up his mind, Zhao Rang walked straight to Buzhuang.

The signboard of the cloth village is not conspicuous, but the store is neat.

There is not a lot of traffic in front of the store, but there is also an endless stream of customers coming in and out.

Zhao Rang walked into the store, and a guy immediately greeted him and greeted him warmly:

"This guest officer, please inside. The fabrics in our store are all of the best colors, what would you like to see? ”

"Just take a look."

With that, Zhao Rang began to browse around the store.

There is indeed a wide variety of fabrics, from silk to cotton, and the quality of the fabrics is quite good

He walked over and picked up a piece of fabric and touched it, it felt delicate and silky.

"The guest officer has a good eye, this piece of fabric is the treasure of our store, called 'Haiyun Brocade', which is the only one from here to the river and even to the south!"

Seeing that Zhao Rang was interested in the piece of fabric, the guy immediately introduced.

After turning around, he already had a plan in his heart. Although this cloth shop is not large, it has a thriving business and the goods are of high quality. It seems that the owner of this cloth village is indeed not simple.

"I heard that your boss also opened an inn and a gambling house, but it's next door?"

Zhao Rang asked coldly.

The guy didn't have any surprise, obviously he was already an old man.

He said to Zhao Rang in a flat tone:

"Guest officer, the little one is a guy from a cloth village, and he doesn't know much about the owner's business, and he can't inquire."

Seeing that Zhao Rang was still looking at him, the guy changed his words and continued:

"But there is indeed an inn next to it, which is longer than the years I have been in Buzhuang, and I see customers every day, so it must be good."

Zhao Rang nodded, smiled at the guy, and said:

"Thank you, little brother! When you're new to the next year, find a place to live first, and then come back to visit when you're stable! ”

The guy had a false hand, and politely sent Zhao Rang out of the door, saying:

"Guest, go slowly, I wish you can exchange your favorite treasure in Zhenhai City!"

The incisions in other places are often for fun, but "shopping for a treasure that you like" is unique to Zhenhai City.

Especially after the Longfan Club took control of the water market, it released some mysterious news intentionally or unintentionally, which made people unable to distinguish the true from the false, so it attracted many speculative businessmen and gamblers who brought all the money to their families.

After a few steps down the street, I soon found the inn.

The façade of the inn is inconspicuous, but the lanterns and fluttering flags hanging in front of the inn are particularly eye-catching.

The hall was full of people, and various dialects were intertwined, making it very lively.

Zhao Rang looked around and found that the layout of the inn was quite reasonable, and although there were many guests, it did not appear crowded.

He walked to the counter and said to the shopkeeper:

"Shopkeeper, bring me an upper room."

The shopkeeper is a middle-aged man with a full beard and a rough look.

He looked up at Zhao Rang, a hint of vigilance flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal, and said with a smile:

"Guest officer, the upper room is full, only ordinary guest rooms, what do you think?"

Zhao Rang is not picky, as long as there is a place to rest:

"Ordinary rooms are ordinary rooms."

The shopkeeper naturally had a good impression of such a talkative guest officer, and specially ordered a guy to take Zhao Rang to the guest room.

The room was small but tastefully furnished.

The beds were neat and tidy, and there was a basin of water and clean towels on the table.

Zhao Rang nodded with satisfaction, took out some silver taels from his baggage, and handed them to the guy.

The man took the silver tael and grinned:

"Guest officer, if you need anything, just ask."

The guy respectfully withdrew, and Zhao Rang sat on the bed, feeling a little sleepy.

He had eaten a lot of breakfast, and he was not hungry at this time, and there was still some time before the meal, just enough to sleep.

He didn't know how long it took for him to wake up to a knock on the door.

Zhao Rang rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and picked up the investigation commander card placed next to the pillow.

He remembered that he had put the token in his baggage before going to bed, but now it appeared next to his pillow.

It made him feel a little uneasy.

When I opened the door, there was the guy standing outside.

"Guest, you're awake. A guest downstairs comes to you and says it's your friend. ”

The guy said.

Zhao Rang's heart moved, could it be someone sent by a beautiful woman?

He followed his fellow to the downstairs hall, where he saw a burly man standing there looking around.

After seeing Zhao Rang, the man's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.

"Brother, you're here!"

The man patted Zhao Rang's shoulder and said.

Zhao Rang was confused, he didn't know this man.

"Brother, what's wrong? I'm Lao Hu! ”

Seeing that Zhao Rang was at a loss, the man hurriedly said.

Zhao Rang carefully looked at the man a few times and made sure that he had never seen him.

Vigilant in his heart, he said quietly on the surface:

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Hu! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I had a bumpy ride, I just slept again, and my mind is not very clear...... I don't know what urgent matter Brother Hu has? ”

Lao Hu didn't notice Zhao Rang's strange appearance, and said with a smile:

"Brother, didn't we make an appointment to meet at the inn today? How do you sleep until now and don't get up? ”

Zhao Rang didn't know what to do, so he followed Lao Hu's words and said:

"Oops, it's not that I'm too tired to travel! I woke up a little late today. I'm really sorry to keep Brother Hu waiting for a long time. ”

Lao Hu waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care.

He looked around and said in a low voice:

"This is not the place to talk, let's change places."

Zhao Rang nodded and followed Lao Hu out of the inn.

The two of them found a private room at a nearby wine store and sat down.

Lao Hu didn't order wine, but asked for a pot of tea and two plates of dim sum, and then said to Zhao Rang mysteriously:

"Brother, you've come to Zhenhai City this time, but you're in the right place!"

Zhao Rang had already thought of his words, he took a sip of tea, and said slowly:

"To be honest, I heard that there are a lot of treasures in the water market in Zhenhai City recently, so I thought I would like to see if there is a chance."

Lao Hu said excitedly:

"That's a good thing, but brother, you don't know, although the water market in Zhenhai City is prosperous, it is controlled by the Dragon Fan Society. They have a monopoly on the supply of goods and sales channels, and it is difficult for outsiders to do business here. ”

Zhao Rang pretended to be surprised and said:

"And this kind of thing? Haven't I come for nothing? ”

Lao Hu smiled and said:

"Not necessarily. Brother, since you are here, you cannot return empty-handed. I have a message here, I wonder if you are interested? ”

Zhao Rang knew that the drama was coming, and then asked in a stubble manner:

"What's the news? Brother Hu, please speak. ”

Lao Hu looked around and made sure that there was no one else, then he lowered his voice and said:

"I heard that Longfan Club has a batch of goods to sell recently, and the quantity is not small, and they are all in demand. If you can eat this batch of goods, you can make a lot of money by changing hands. ”

Zhao Rang showed a look of hesitation.

"Brother Hu, it's not that I don't believe you. But as you know, I'm new to the city, and I'm not familiar with it. I don't know what the origin of this dragon sail will be, so wouldn't it be self-defeating to go to them to discuss business? ”

Lao Hu saw that Zhao Rang was a little moved, and hurriedly said:

"Brother, don't worry! This news is absolutely reliable! And I will help you match up and introduce you to the people of the Dragon Sail Club. All you need to do is prepare the money, and I'll take care of the rest. When the time comes, you will make a lot of money, and I can go to the Drunken Sea Pavilion to moisturize for two days! ”

Zhao Rang pondered for a moment and said:

"Brother Hu, little brother, thank you for your righteousness! But I still have to think about it. ”

Seeing that Zhao Rang did not refuse, Lao Hu patted Zhao Rang's shoulder and said:

"Brother Zhao, you think about it slowly. But I have to warn you, after this village, there is no such shop. ”

After speaking, Lao Hu drank all the tea in front of him, and then got up to say goodbye.

Zhao Rang sat in the private room, pondered for a moment, and got up to leave.

After returning to the inn, Zhao Rang called the fellow and asked:

"Who lived in this room before?"

The guy grimaced.

There are a lot of outsiders coming and going in the city, not to mention that if an inn leaks the information of the previous guest to others for no reason, then this inn is not far from closing......

"Don't worry, there is no other meaning, just curiosity to ask!"

Zhao Rang turned sideways, blocking the view of the guy and the shopkeeper behind the counter, and quietly stuffed a piece of silver.

The man turned out to be silver, squeezed it hard in his hand, and said:

"Guest officer, I'll call you back in a moment!"
